Our Try Hockey for Free event in conjunction with USA Hockey was a success! Girls new to the sport were laced up their skates and hit the ice with coaches and players from our U16 Black team. Smiles filled the rink, especially when we surprised the participants with pizza and cupcakes afterward! The next Try Hockey for Free Day is scheduled for February 23rd.Learn more.

Our U16 Black won the USA Hockey Tier II National Championships by beating the Vermont Shamrocks 1-0 in a well-matched, tough game. As our second National Championship title in two years of joining the CHC and NEGHL leagues, we are proud to be known for our commitment to developing players at all levels AND for fielding top-tier competitive travel teams. Congratulations girls on this well-deserved feat!

Our goal is to be the best player development program in the region. As we’ve grown to be the largest girls-only youth hockey organization in Southern Connecticut with over 225 registered participants, adding more programming opportunities for new and existing players, regardless of experience or level of competitiveness.

With back-to-back USA Hockey National Championship titles the past two years, an expansive tiered travel team structure, and one of the most robust Learn to Play programs in the region, we think we have something for everyone. We’re are proud of our 90% player retention rate and consistently positive feedback about our purpose, operational excellence, and impact on so many girls’ lives.

Champions of the girls’ hockey experience, giving access to female role-models through our expanding number of female Sharks coaches or our partnerships with like-minded organizations like Pro Crease Goaltending or the QU Women’s Hockey Team.

Heading into this season, we have a lot of momentum. Our President, Ed Rodham, outlines our accomplishments from last season, highlights our growth over the past five years, reviews the program enhancement for this season and reinforces what makes us different.
